Thu, 24 Jul 2014 20:00:53 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2269960#comment-3494824Pettine is an odd bird. Paraphrase of his comments about Manziel:

“Do it, but don’t do it, okay. Don’t do it but if you do do it, don’t act like you do it or just did it. So, it’s better not to do it, but it’s okay if you do it when you’re not doing it while working. Ditto?”

Criminy; no wonder he can’t figure out who to start at QB.

Thu, 24 Jul 2014 19:45:02 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2269960#comment-3494757I have to admit, the circus around Johnny Football is much bigger than the one around Michael Sam… Until Dungy’s comments, Michael Sam had been a relatively dull story during mini camps and OTAs.

Meanwhile Johnny Football is driving full speed into self destruction, seemingly laughing the whole way.

I’m a huge Johnny Football fan and really want to see him succeed, but he has to get a handle on his life and do it soon.

If Michael Sam is too big a circus, what about Johnny Football? The big tent is going up in Cleveland and the crowd is getting excited.

Thu, 24 Jul 2014 17:34:15 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2269960#comment-3494190Cleveland’s current coach seems to have a lot more common sense than their last two combined. (Yeah that Weeden couldn’t see a 100 yard long American Flag coming but I’m pretty sure that won’t translate to him not being about to see a pass rush so he should be our starter right??)

Let Manziel actually suck before we call his lifestyle a distraction. At this point he’s still Johnny Benchwarmer so if going out late effects his clipboard holding ability it will be addressed.

The kid hasn’t done anything illegal. People forget he’s 21 and should still be in college. Stop comparing him to a bunch of near 40 year old married QB’s like Peyton Manning (who still has less Superbowl rings than “pillar of the community” Ben Roethlisberger).

Thu, 24 Jul 2014 17:29:39 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2269960#comment-3494166Florio makes a very odd statement: “And that’s precisely why the NFL should quit testing guys for recreational drugs, especially in the offseason. Teams don’t care about what a guy does unless and until it affects his job or his freedom (which in turn affects his ability to show up for his job).” New money and young men who like to party doesn’t mix. These aren’t normal guys either. They are physically powerful, intimidating, and rich guys. The teams and NFL actually MUST care…the NFL image and teams’ reputation in their local communities are important. No one wants a bunch of 30o lb potheads or cocaine cowboys driving around their cities because they are “off” work. Sorry, but playing in the NFL is a privilege. Also, like any other job, drug testing is there. The NFL needs to do some fixing of the player image…way too many arrests for drugs, DUI, and domestic violence this year.

Thu, 24 Jul 2014 16:57:00 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2269960#comment-3494026Hoyer will start the season. A rookie coach will not go with a rookie quarterback from the get-go. No way, no how.

The Browns have a bye after their first three (Steelers/Saints/Ravens) games and then play a fairly soft schedule.

If Hoyer plays well and gets at least one win he will continue to start after the bye. If he loses all three games Manziel will become the starter.

Hoyer won’t be successful with these horrible WRs. All the defense will have to do is put 8 in the box double Jordan Cameron and say go ahead try and beat us.

Seems to me that Mr Manziel (hate calling a man-child Mr) would do well sitting and learning a thing or two from a player like Hoyer (who hasn’t had anything handed to him like Johnny Football)

2. Manziel is just a dumb kid exhibiting the behavior is what happens to a spoiled and pandered kid. Ryan Leaf, Version 2.0.
